Clearance & Registration

As you prepare to join us this fall, we have designed this page to help ensure that
your transition to Dillard University is as stress free as possible. Please read this page and refer back to it as often as you need. It contains important information
for you to prepare for the August 1st, clearance deadline.

All incoming students have until August 1st to complete our clearance process and
be cleared by all offices listed below:

High School Students: A transcript of your final high school grades with your date of graduation listed
must be submitted by August 1st. Students who do not provide their final high school
transcript will not be permitted to participate in SOAR and register for classes.
SOAR is mandatory for all incoming students.

Transfer Students: If you are a transfer applicant or have received college credits while in high school,
an official and final transcript from the college where the credit was earned should
be submitted no later than August 1st. Students who do not provide their official
college transcript(s) will not be permitted to participate in SOAR or register for
classes.
